Challenges of Democracy and Authoritarianism in the Middle East
Analyzing the Arab uprisings, the chapter explores the drivers beyond economics, such as the pursuit of dignity and a rejection of paternalistic ruling systems. It delves into the legitimacy crisis facing democracies due to unmet promises and cultural incoherency, particularly in addressing immigration issues in countries like France, Britain, the United States, and Germany. The narrative also examines Turkey's unique stance on immigration and economic challenges under President Erdogan, shedding light on the implications for democracy and authoritarianism in the region.
